Our Quality
Philosophy
●
We only use the highest grade vinyl covering that is especially
chosen for its Infection Control properties. Our medical grade vinyl
has an infection proof additive which is effective at reducing the
spread of bacteria such as E coli and MRSA.
● We only
use the best quality materials and components to manufacture our
products and will not use the cheaper alternatives more commonly
used by other manufacturers.
● We will only
use materials that have been tested to meet rigorous safety
requirements. We also use environmentally friendly materials
wherever possible and our wood wherever possible is taken from
forests that have a re-plantation programme in operation.
● We aim to keep
our prices as low as possible whilst maintaining high quality. We
will not compromise on quality just to make a quick profit.
● We concentrate on
what we do best. We design and manufacture only equipment, and
tailor make our couches and equipment for each and every individual
customer. We are best placed to respond to customer needs and
because of the nature of our operation we can offer specialist
technical knowledge and manufacturing expertise about all the
products we produce.
